LET THE PUNISHMEN FIT THE CRIME, ( laughter ) ( siren wailing ) ( laughter ) THAT OF ALL THE EMOTIONS, ( Control Voice ) THERE EXPERIENCE TEACHES FEAR STANDS ALONE IN ITS POWER TO MOVE US OR TO CAPTURE US IN ITS GRIP FOREVER, MORNING, ( horn honking ) ( car alarm blaring ) HELLO, BERNARD, ( rock music playing ) BERNARD, ( Doctor ) BERNARD SELDON, 27, SUFFERED A TRAUMA AT AGE 6 FROM WHICH HE NEVER RECOVERED, IN THE MIDS OF A RAGING TANTRUM, HE STARTED A FIRE IN HIS ORPHANAGE WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF HIS 4-YEAR-OLD SISTER, BERNARD, YOU HAD US WORRIED, WE WEREN'T SURE YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE IT, ( Doctor ) IN ALL MY YEARS OF STUDYING MOOD DISORDERS, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PATIEN SO CRIPPLED BY HIS PHOBIAS, BERNARD LIVES IN A WORLD FILLED WITH CHRONIC, PERNICIOUS HALLUCINATORY TERRORS, AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, HE'S BEEN RENDERED EFFECTIVELY DYSFUNCTIONAL, YOU'VE GO TO WONDER, WHAT IS HE SEEING? SO FAR HE'S BEEN IMPERVIOUS TO CONVENTIONAL SOMATIC THERAPIES, AND YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN HELP THIS MAN, DR, OSGOOD, IF THIS PROCEDURE LIVES UP TO ITS PROMISE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP HIM VANQUISH HIS FEARS FOREVER, JUST RELAX NOW, THE SEDATIVE SHOULD BE TAKING EFFECT, BERNARD'S LIFE IS DOMINATED BY FEAR, HE LURCHES FROM ONE PANIC ATTACK TO THE NEXT, IT'S THESE ATTACKS, OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY CATASTROPHIC MIGRAINES THAT DR, PIKE'S PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO SIGNIFICANTLY MODERATE, AND WITH LUCK, ELIMINATE ALTOGETHER, ( Dr, Pike ) AS MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE, THE AMYGDALA IS LOCATED HERE, DEEP IN THE LIMBIC SYSTEM, EXCUSE ME, MR, McKENNA, THE ANATOMY LESSON'S UP HERE, THE AMYGDALA BEING THE REPOSITORY OF WHAT, MR, McKENNA? THE BRAIN'S FEAR CONDITIONING MECHANISM, INDEED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, NOW, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THE PATIENT'S AMYGDALA IS GROSSLY ENLARGED, WHICH MAY SUGGES AN ORGANIC COMPONEN TO HIS HYPER-FEARFUL STATE, THE E, E, G, EVEN DETECTED A MILD ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE, NOW, FOR YEARS, WE HAVE OBSERVED A RARE MEDICAL CONDITION, FOR REASONS WE HAVE YET TO UNDERSTAND THE AMYGDALA CAN BECOME ENCASED IN A THIN CALCIUM SHELL, NOW, THE INDIVIDUALS TO WHOM THIS OCCURS SEEM TO LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO FEEL FEAR, IN A CONVENTIONAL SENSE, OR EVEN TO RECOGNIZE I IN OTHERS, UTTERLY FEARLESS THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF THE PATIENT'S PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE, TODAY WE'RE GOING TO GIVE BERNARD THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF INJECTIONS OF A CONCENTRATE OF ANTIBODIES TAKEN PREMORTEM FROM ONE SUCH PATIENT, OUR ANIMAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THESE ANTIBODIES TRIGGER THE ENCAPSULATION OF THE AMYGDALA AND WE HOPE, IN BERNARD'S CASE, CONTROL HIS TENDENCY TO BE OVERWHELMED BY FEAR, WE HAVE FOUND A WAY TO DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATE THAT PROCESS BY IRRADIATING THE BRAIN WITH AN ATTENUATED PHASE E, M, P, WE ANTICIPATE A SERIES OF THREE TO FIVE INJECTIONS AND RADIATION TREATMENTS OVER A PERIOD OF TWO TO THREE WEEKS, PREPARE TO IRRADIATE, E, M, P, CALIBRATIONS 200 ROENTGENS, BEGIN RADIATION, INCREASE TO 400 ROENTGENS, END RADIATION, BERNARD, I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT EVEN IF EVERYTHING GOES PERFECTLY, YOU PROBABLY WON'T NOTICE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FOR A WHILE, ALL RIGHT?

YOU GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS CRAP? TO HELL WITH YOU, I'M SORRY, IT SOUNDS AWFULLY FAR-FETCHED, OH, COME ON, MILES, THERE'S NOTHING IN THE LITERATURE THAT BEGINS TO ACCOUN FOR WHAT WE'RE SEEING, I'VE RUN A BATTERY OF BRAIN SCANS, EVERY NEUROLOGICAL TEST, JUST LIKE YOU ASKED, THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR IT, I AGREE THERE SEEMS TO BE AN EXCESS ELECTRICAL ENERGY ACCUMULATING IN THE LIMBIC REGION, BUT I'M A LONG WAY FROM ACCEPTING YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THEIR RELEASE, WELL, THINK ABOUT IT, WE'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS THAT ONE ANIMAL CAN PALPABLY SENSE FEAR IN ANOTHER, THIS IS JUST A REVERSE OF THAT MECHANISM, BERNARD'S BRAIN HAS SOMEHOW MANAGED TO TRANSMIT, TO INSTILL FEAR IN ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, I'M HEARING CONJECTURE, NOT HARD SCIENCE, I KNOW IT'S ANECDOTAL, BUT IT'S FIRST-HAND, I'M TELLING YOU, I FELT IT, HE REACHED INTO THE DEEPES CORNER OF MY OWN FEAR, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT SPECIFIC IMAGERY IS BEING PASSED ON IN THIS TRANSMISSION? ALL I KNOW IS IT HAPPENED TO ME, THE CALCIUM SHELL MAY ACTUALLY BE ALLOWING THE CHARGE TO BUILD UP, THE ENERGY EMISSIONS EXPELLED THROUGH THIS FISSURE, THEY MUST HAVE BEEN ABSORBED BY DR, PIKE'S AMYGDALA, WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSING BE DONE WITH YOUR PATIENT? EVERY TIME THAT BERNARD EXPLODES IN ANGER, THIS FISSURE CAN WIDEN, MAYBE IRRETRIEVABLY, THERE'S NO TELLING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DAMAGE THAT HE CAN DO, BOTH TO HIMSELF AND TO OTHERS, WE CLOSE THE FISSURE, WE CAN STOP THE DISCHARGE, THERE IS MORE RISK TO NON-INTERVENTION THAN IN RESUMING TREATMENT, I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT, BUT, ,, SOMETHING'S CHANGED, SOMETHING BIG, YOU'RE LOSING YOUR FEARS, THAT'S WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, YES, BUT I'VE ALSO GAINED SOMETHING, THERE'S A REASON THOSE BULLIES RAN AWAY FROM ME, I DID SOMETHING TO THEM, SOMETHING THAT I CONTROL, YOU BELIEVE ME, RIGHT? OF COURSE I BELIEVE YOU, I'M JUST WORRIED, THAT'S ALL, YOU THINK I'M NOT REALLY BETTER? THAT I COULD GET SICK AGAIN? NO, THAT'S NOT IT, WELL, WHAT THEN? THE LAST TIME I WAS THIS CLOSE TO SOMEONE, I GOT HURT, I GOT REALLY HURT, I'M WORRIED THAT I MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU, ( knocking ) JUST A SECOND, BERNARD, SURPRISE!
